A Recipe for
Easter Paska
"Cuisine is both an art and a science: it is an art when it strives to bring about the realization of the true and the beautiful, called le bon (the good) in the order of culinary ideas. As a science, it respects chemistry, physics and natural history. Its axioms are called aphorisms, its theorems recipes, and its philosophy gastronomy." |

Dissolve sugar in milk and heat until lukewarm. Crumble yeast
into milk and let stand. Sift flour and salt into large pot or bowl.
Put in eggs, melted vegetable shortening and butter. Add milk. Work
until all dough is in one bulk, loose from hands and from sides of
pot or bowl. Cover with pot cover or a damp cloth and set in a warm
place to rise. It should be double in amount in about 2 or 2 1/2
hours.
Take three large balls of dough, the size of large grapefruits,
form into 10" strips 3" in diameter and braid. Paska is always baked
in a round pan, 6" high. The temperature should be 400 deg. for the
first 10 min. and then lowered to 375 deg. for the next 40 to 50
minutes. When the Paska is taken from the oven, spread with melted
butter. This will make 4 Paskas.
